They would be much better games with DD's combat system, at least as far as I can tell.
Isn't DD a western-focused Monster Hunter? I didn't think it was similar at all to Skyrim or the Witcher.

It really doesn't look anything like Monster Hunter. Why would anybody say that?
I think it's a Japanese take on a western RPG.

I'm remembering way back to the E3(?) unveiling. I haven't followed it at all since, so maybe everything has changed from what I remember.

Dragon's Dogma doesn't have co-op, though.
I admit the game as a whole is a bit of an odd duck, but my original comment seems to hold. A lot of these western-style RPGs have absolutely junk combat systems and this has been going on for decades (Ultima VII - brilliant game, terrible combat) and would be undeniably improved with a better one.
I mean, imagine if Skyrim had a Monster Hunter style combat system. That'd be a pretty awesome game no?
All I do in Elder Scrolls games is shoot shit with arrows, so it already works for me. I have no doubt that you are right about melee though. Have you played The Witcher 2, or are you basing your comparison on the first?
I could have sworn I played a demo of DD a few weeks ago and thought it was a buggy cluster-f
Both Witchers have had good combat. I liked the combat in Witcher 2 above the Dragon's Dogma demo, even after trying two classes. Though similar, Witcher 2 has more of a sense of weight and heft, while in DD everyone feels like they're made of baloons and fighting with plastic toys.

Pumped for Mushihimesama. I'll probably get Dragon's Dogma, and peer pressure will probably make me get Diablo.
